LIVE: Idaho Student Murders — ID v. Bryan Kohberger — Hearing

The man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in their off-campus home is asking the courts to move his trial to a different county. Bryan Kohberger’s defense team believes the “mob mentality” of locals will result in an unfair trial with potential riots if he’s found not guilty. Prosecutors opposed their bid to move the trial to a county 300 miles away and claimed the defense has failed to prove the move is necessary. Kohberger is accused of fatally stabbing Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen in November 2022.

To say people would "hunt him down and kill him" if found innocent or they "burn the courthouse down" is just absolutely ridiculous thing to say to try and persuade the change of venue

[RedPilledKP]

What a stretch from the defense. The grandiosity from this defense team and this pos defendant is disgusting. To think this case is any more special than any other large profile murder is a farce and a waste of time by these annoying defense attorneys

[karenbest]

The gag orders and delays are the primary reasons for the extensive publicity and speculation in this case.

[mattboyko]

It’s been two years and they’re still talking about where to have the trial😂👌🤷‍♂️ what a gimmick, this guys going to end up having five birthdays by the time this thing even starts😂

[joeblogs]

Why don't they just bring in jurors from a different county?

[DavidHarrisActor]

How dare you upload a seven-hour video

[joebloggs]

They need to try and get a jury formed before they look at changing venues. There is little legitimate reasons why not to try.

[Jaded]

Change of venue should be a no brainer. Esp w/ the experts on stand today. Data shows that factually for a fair trial it needs to not be in that small town. Change the venue. I think Judge Judge will acknowledge this after the hearing today. Clearly he will not get a non biased jury there and it needs to be changed. The high profile and mass media coverage has polluted any juror they could get there.

[karenharris]

I hope this dude doesn't get off. Let them change the venue if they want to. It needs to be settled!

[shadowaxeband]

Really? Still terrible audio? Coverup? Lol

[kimmie]

I read somewhere else that AT is known to file excessive amounts of pre trial motions in other trials

[excellent]

I want to believe that he did this so bad then again I don’t know 🤷‍♀️.

[lyndafinnell]

The judge needs to double down and start the trial not all the politics. Brian is not O.J. Simpson and she is no dream team.

[mattvegasman]

Why are we still doing zoom hearings this trial better not be zoomed

[BeachButterfly]

All the technology in the world and this is the rubbish they put on. Ridiculous

[SPR]

I'll just never understand how a punk kid murdered 4 people while two people stayed in their rooms and didn't call for help til hours later

[rei_eva]

This shouldn’t be a hard decision at all. Goes without saying the trial venue needs to be changed. The survey results and expert testimony further support it. There’s no reason to keep it in that county and every reason to move it. Peer pressure from the community, fear of consequences, mob mentality, personal investment, direct and indirect connections, too much influence from local authorities and the university, small jury pool, logistical issues and so on. It’s a no brainer.

Media and social media have caused so much bias with all the fake info they’ve been spewing.

Prosecution being against the move just shows they feel like they need biased jurors.

[AxelBee]

Let him loose.
The actual justice system will judge him.

[rei_eva]

The fact that many low profile cases have had the trial moved but this high profile case in a small biased community with a high volume of media coverage filled with prejudicial misinformation might not be is a travesty.

[karenbest]

Most of the data the defense is presenting could be applied to ANY trial.
